Godzilla (Showa)

Summary

With the destruction of the menace Godzilla, Japan, if not the world, breathed a sigh of relief. Rebuilding the mangled remains of what was left in the leviathan's wake was soon set in motion. Businesses thrived once more, and life returned to normal. That is until a pilot embarked on a rescue mission to locate a missing pilot near a remote island. Upon discovering the stranded pilot, the Earth shook with a thundering roar. Looking back behind them, the pilots witnessed a spiny-shelled, quadruped reptile in mortal combat with another demon, a creature that closely resembled the horrific devil that struck Japan like a typhoon just a year before: Godzilla.

Durability: At least Mountain level+, likely Island level to Country level (Presumably at least equal to and/or greater than in durability than Manda, who has at least Mountain level+, borderline Small Island level durability, has tanked attacks from Showa King Ghidorah)

Range: Several dozen meters by virtue of sheer size, several hundred meters with Atomic Ray

Standard Equipment: Unknown

Intelligence: Varies from film to film. Depicted as being a cunning, savage beast early on while gaining near human intelligence towards the end of the series.

Weaknesses: Initially electricity, but later grew resistant to it. Reacts strongly to flares and bright lights in general (due to them reminding him of the flash of the nuclear bomb he was irradiated by)

Note: This page only covers the Godzilla incarnation from the Showa era continuity, from 1955 (Beginning with Godzilla Raids Again) to 1975 (Ending with Terror of Mechagodzilla).
